King he first deposed the Twelve Governors and after the manner He deposeth the 12 Governors He creates Lords and wears the Robes of Majesty and ascends a Throne of other Kings did chuse and create sundry to be great Lords about him He also caused two Crowns of pure Gold to be made for himself and a Royal Robe Coller and Scepter with other Complements of Majesty He assigned also certain days wherein he would give Audience to all Complainants and Suters Whensoever he came abroad he was attended with his Officers and Gentlemen of his Court and with two young Henchmen on horseback the one on his right-hand carrying the Bible and the other on his left carrying a drawn Sword He had also a magnifical Throne prepared and set on high for him with a golden Cloth of Estate At a certain time when the King was thus set in his Majesty and Knipperdoling pretends to breathe the Holy Ghost on the People the people thronged close together about him Knipperdoling one of the Prophets got upon the peoples heads and so creeping along on his hands and feet he breathed upon them in their mouths one after another saying thus The Father hath sanctified thee receive the Holy Ghost Certain Weeks after the new Prophet afore mention'd The New Prophet summons the People to Arms. caused by sound of a Trumpet to be proclaimed That all should retire themselves in Arms unto the Church-yard of the chief Church for that the Enemy must be repelled from the Town Coming thither Five thousand of them entertained at a Supper they found a great Supper ready prepared Then there sate down to Supper as they were commanded four thousand and after these had supped one thousand more that had waited sate down The King The King and Queen serve at Table also and the chief Queen together with their Courtiers did serve at table The supper being towards an end the King gave bread unto every one of them saying Take eat and shew forth the Lord's death Then the Queen presented them with the They prophanely give them the Communion cup saying Drink and shew forth the Lord's death This being done the said Prophet got him up into a pulpit and asked them if they would obey the word of the Lord which when they had yielded unto that they would he said it was the Father's commandment 28 Teachers sent forth that eight and twenty Doctors or Teachers should be sent forth into all the corners of the world to teach the doctrine that was taught and received in that City Then he named them all and the particular place whither each of them should go So after all was done they let the said eight and twenty Preachers out of the town by night very closely for fear of those without who besieged them giving to every one above that which should defray his charges one piece of gold and commanding them to leave it at such places where their doctrine should not be received for a testimony of such peoples damnation and everlasting perdition for refusing such message and wholesome doctrine When those Preachers were come to the places assigned unto them they cried in the streets of the Towns where they came Repont repent or else you shall all quickly perish Then They preach Repentance Community of Goods and the universal Reign of Rightcousness brought to pass by King John of Leyden they spread their garments on the ground before the Magistrates and upon them they laid the pieces of Gold which were afore delivered unto them assuring them and protesting that they were sent from the heavenly Father to bring them peace and mercy and if they would receive it then they must give up all their Goods to be used in common but if they refused it then that sign and token should be a witness against them of ingratitude and rebellion against God For said they now is the time come that was spoken of afore by the Prophets in which Righteousness shall reign in the Earth universally and when the King meaning John of Leyden hath brought to pass that Righteousness shall rule in every place then Christ shall give up his Kingdom to his Father But these Preachers being hereupon apprehended they resolutely stood The Preachers apprehended they defend their wicked Practices with Scripture falsly applied in it and defended that they only held the true doctrine which they would maintain upon peril of their lives Being asked with what justice they could enter upon and possess other men's Wives Children and Goods as they did they said The time was come forespoken of by Christ that the meek should possess the earth and that God gave these unto them as he did give the Goods of the Egyptians unto the Israelites They affirmed also that King David and John of Leyden were two righteous Prophets but the Pope and Luther were both false Prophets whereof Luther was the worse Thus still persisting obstinate in their erroneous Opinions notwithstanding the Tortures which they endured they were all beheaded saving One of them escaped all the Rest put to death one of them that escaped away by slight Whilest these things were thus in doing within and abroad the City of Munster was every day more and more straitly besieged and pressed with extreme famine so that for fear lest many the chief Burgers should capitulate with the Enemy and yield the King up unto the Bishop their King therefore did chuse Twelve whom he held most faithful unto him and appointed them to be Captains of War over so many several Parts of the Town into which he did quarter it entertaining the said Twelve persons with Mountains of large Promises and telling them over what great Provinces and Dominions under him he would after A Famine increaseth in the City place them Thus the Famine still more and more encreasing in the City so that sundry died thereof albeit the King had abundance for himself and his special Favourites not only for supply of necessity but also to riot and banquet it happened that one of his Queens in commiseration of the distressed said unto the rest That she could not believe it was the Will of God that men should in that sort be suffered to die for want of food Hereupon being accused she was brought into the Market-place and being commanded to kneel down the King struck off her Head all the rest of his Queens singing dancing and giving thanks therefore to the heavenly Father But whenas the common sort had like to have

it is pacified by the Archbishop so offended his Friends having laboured exceedingly therein on his behalf that being then Lord General of her Majesty's Forces in France he made open profession of his dislike of the Archbishop But upon his return into England finding how firm her Majesty stood for him and that his stirring in the matter must needs call in question her Majesty's Judgment did therefore in a temperate manner expostulate the matter with the Archbishop from whom he received such an Answer as he knew not well whom to be angry withal unless with the Queen her self who thought him too young a man being yet no Counsellor for so grave a Title and fearing happily lest if she should have committed the guiding of that University unto his young Years and unexperienced Judgment some hot and unruly Spirits there like Phaeton's untamed Horses might have carried him in such an headlong course of government as that the sparks of Contention which were then scarce kindled in that University might have broken forth into open flames to the utter destruction and devastation of the whole State Ecclesiastical And besides this she held the Lord Buckhurst being an ancient Counsellor and her Kinsman more fit for the Place a great deal And so much it seemed the Queen had told The Queen justifies the Archbishop to Essex the Earl in justification of the Archbishop before his questioning of the matter with him for in effect he acknowledged so much and thereupon they parted in no unkind terms but with due respect of each other in very friendly manner The Queen not long after She makes them firm Friends was the mean of their entring into further Friendship having oftentimes recommended unto the Archbishop the Earl's many excellent Parts and Vertues which she thought then rare in so young Years And the Earl likewise confessed to the Archbishop that her Majesty's often speech of her extraordinary opinion of him and his worth was the cause of his seeking after the Archbishop and therefore did offer to run a course for Clergy Causes according to his directions and advice and to cast off the Novelists as indeed he did immediately after Sir Francis Walsingham's Sir Francis Walsingham died Apr. 6. 1590. The Archbishop's firmness to Essex in his Troubles death which was a special cause of the Archbishop's constancy and firmness to the Earl in his disgrace and trouble afterwards 83. But now to return to our former course The Lord Chancellor's death much troubled and perpexed the Archbishop The Archbishop fears on the Lord Chancellor's death fearing that new Troubles would befal him and the Church Howbeit things were then so well and firmly setled that he had no great ado afterwards saving with their dispersing New Pamphlets dispersed by the Puritans of Pamphlets and that some few Persons though thanks be to God not powerful both in Court and Country Attempts in Parliament on their behalf did attempt as much as in them lay by motions in Parliament and Bills there preferred to bring in I know not nor they themselves what kind of new Government in the Church but were prevented by the Wisdom of her Majesty who always suppressed those Bills and Motions and still comforted the Archbishop who was oftentimes The Queen comforts the Archbishop with fresh Assurances of her Countenance and Favour to the Church much grieved with their causeless Complaints and assured him they should not prevail to do any hurt except it were to hurt themselves For she did see in her Princely wisdom how dangerous they were to her and all Imperial Government And when she found them still bent to pursue such Bills and Motions she to deliver the Archbishop from farther trouble and vexation before it was expected and as it were with silence brake up the Parliament 84. AFter the death of Sir Christopher Sir John Puckering Lord Keeper June 4. 1592. Hatton Sir John Puckering was made Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England of whom because he lived not long I shall not have occasion to say much But for ought that I ever Upon Hatton ' s death the Queen offered the Archbishop his Place But he declined it because of his Age and Ecclesiastical Business Sir Thomas Egerton made Lord Keeper of the Great Seal May 6. 1596. heard he shewed himself a Friend to the Church unto the Archbishop and his Proceedings and acknowledged him to have been amongst his other good Friends a Furtherer of his Advancement 85. Sir Thomas Egerton Master of the Rolls succeeded him May 6. 1596. Her Majesty and the State had long experience of his Integrity and Wisdom as may appear by the great Places which he worthily held being first her Highness's Sollicitor and then Attorney General In which time besides his many great and weighty Services he was very careful and industrious in labouring earnesty to suppress the aforesaid Libellers a lover of Learning and a most constant Favourer of the Clergy and Church Government He is a constant Friend to the Church before and after his Advancement established as also a faithful loving Friend to the Archbishop in all his Affairs insomuch as after his advancement to that Honour and that the Earl of Essex and the Archbishop concurred together being also out of the affection of his most honourable Friend the Lord Burghley Lord Treasurer further strengthned by the friendship The Archbishop cherished and strengthened by union of many Friends and love of Sir Robert Cecyll principal Secretary and now Earl of Salisbury and Lord Treasurer of England he began to be fully revived again and as well fortified by them as ever he was when he was most and best friended And her Majesty finding in him a zealous care and faithful performance of his duty and service towards the Church and her Highness shook off those Clergy Cares and laid the burthen The Queen throws the whole care of the Church upon him of them upon his Shoulders telling him That if any thing went amiss be it upon his Soul and Conscience to answer it for she had rid her hands and looked that he should yield an account on her behalf unto Almighty God 86. And now though the Archbishop He disposeth of Bishopricks and all other Ecclesiastical Promotions was in this singular favour and grace with her Majesty so that he did all in all for the managing of Clergy-Affairs and disposing of Bishopricks and other Ecclesiastical Promotions yet was he never puffed up with Pride His great Humility and Lenity nor did any thing violently by reason of his Place and greatness with her Majesty against any man For he ever observed this Rule that he would not wound where he could not salve And I leave to the report of the Adversaries themselves when he had that sway in Government and favour with her Highness whether his Carriage were not exceeding mild and temperate and whether he did not endeavour
